Our verdict
The T1 Station is MOVA's answer to the Ecovacs OMNI idea, and it reaches further than any machine here. It is rated for panes up to 2.5 by 8 m, and MOVA rates it for up to 90 m² of wet cleaning, from an 80 ml tank. Four nozzles pulse a fine mist in both directions and can heat the water to 40 °C, NookSpin brushes turn into the corners to within 1 mm, and a brushless turbine holds on with 10,000 Pa and 0.02 s pressure compensation, on glass, marble or tiles tilted to 45°. The 8.2 kg BoostBay station anchors with an 800 N suction cup, winds its 5.5 m cable at a button press, and its 4,500 mAh battery gives 80 minutes of cleaning plus a 30-minute suction reserve, with a return when under 10 minutes remain. It moves at 14 cm/s, plans a Z or N route, avoids obstacles, runs at 68 dB and carries a three-year warranty with liability insurance. MOVA claims neither a resume after an interruption nor a return to start after cleaning, and in October 2026 it was on the German shop only.

In detail
Cleaning
It sprays water from a 80 ml tank. It moves at 14 cm/s. It has 5 cleaning modes. It reaches into corners.
Grip and fit
Suction of 10,000 Pa keeps it on the glass, with pressure compensation. The manufacturer rates it for panes from 30 × 40 cm up to 250 × 800 cm. It detects the pane edge, so frameless glass is fine. It also works on other smooth surfaces.
Safety
After a power cut it holds on for 30 minutes. A safety rope is included, rated for 100 kg.
Navigation and control
It plans its path and steers round obstacles. It comes with a remote. It gives voice prompts. It runs cordless.
